An interest in ideas, culture and things I can build with my hands are some of my defining characteristics.

Toronto is my home and a place which I love. I have lived there most of my life but have the spirit of a childhood spent on the west coast . I love travelling, whether in my own back yard, across Canada (by train was amazing!), on motorcycle (through half the U.S. east coast summer of '12) or overseas.

Respect is paramount for me, I respect a person's time and point of view and look for the same in return.

This apartment in the Junction of Toronto is very central and convenient for public transportation and local shopping and entertainment. The apartment is large and private with a good kitchen with full gas range and fridge. There is a private access through a shared hallway. The bedroom was huge with a comfortable queen bed. David and his wife were finishing up renovations on the apartment when I arrived, but fortunately, I was away with family for most of the first few days. Although not completed, the apartment very much served my needs and should be outstanding when finished. David was very friendly and approachable and responded quickly to my requests for missing items. I would recommend this apartment and hope to use it again when I visit my children in Toronto every three or fours months

David and his wife were very friendly. Their property was really nice too. The bedroom has amazing vaulted ceilings and there is so much natural light in there. Overall we felt really comfortable here. The neighborhood had a lot of convenience stores and restaurants really close too, and the bus to the subway comes right around the corner!

Nice meeting you both too Christine. Thanks for the great review and we appreciate the feedback as well. We have taken on a long term tenant for the upstairs but when we finish the lower level we will put that on airbnb. All the best

David was an excellent host and his home was absolutely perfect for our stay. Apartment is great, amenities provided were fine condition ( towels, toiletries, etc), the bed is very comfortable, rooms are spacious and splendid patio. David even allowed us to make barbecue on the patio with our friends.
The location was super, at the downtown Toronto, lots of restaurants, bar and shops nearby. David offered the use all of the kitchen appliances and encouraged us to contact him via phone in case we needed an advice or recommendations.
I highly reccomend staying with David when you are in Toronto.
Thank-you so much!!!

David and his family were a pleasure to host. They were my first Airbnb guests with a baby. She was absolutely adorable and well-behaved -- from my perspective anyway, I'm sure they had plenty of late night feedings that I was not aware of. That made their full days running around the city all the more impressive.
Helping them get situated and navigate a few early wrinkles taught me a few things about Chicago's new transit card. In addition to enjoying their company, David fixed a problem with my dryer that had been going on for YEARS and certainly bothered some of the other guests I've hosted. He is every bit as handy as his profile suggests. :)
If you have the opportunity to host the Tishauers, I definitely recommend doing so!

David was the ideal guest. He was personable, charming and considerate. When he left, his room looked like he had never been there - he even made up the bed! He was friendly and low maintenance, and a joy to have. If you can get him, scoop him up, he's a treasure.
